25px|alt=Information icon ↗ Please do not add or change content, as you did at :Homer Glen, Illinois ↗, without citing a reliable source ↗. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources ↗ and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Magnolia677 (talk) 15:41, 24 November 2024 (UTC)

Hi

Why did you remove that source from the article in this edit ↗? What website's URL were you referring to? Badbluebus (talk) 05:20, 9 January 2025 (UTC)

:{{ping|Badbluebus}} I came across this ↗ discussion on the talk page. In fact, you can see my response for that specific chat. And, in this ↗ older version, the websites & sentence in question are at the end of the 2nd paragraph under the "History" section. My apologies for not including in my edit summary a link to the talk page section I was citing in the action I took. ClarkKentWannabe (talk) 06:10, 9 January 2025 (UTC)
::That last sentence you removed was indeed not supported by that citation, but the rest of the paragraph was, that's why I restored the source there. If you look at the paper, it says that "Virtuous Pedophiles has more than 1,000 members, and has recently averaged approximately 3,000 posts per month..." and "...Virtuous Pedophiles... includes the following on its website: 'We believe that sexual activity between adults and children is wrong'..." Badbluebus (talk) 14:20, 9 January 2025 (UTC)
:::{{ping|Badbluebus}} Actually, after again looking at the older version of the article I referenced above, specifically the sentence & citation that was removed, I actually checked out the website cited (An Internet study of men sexually attracted to children: Correlates of sexual offending against children. ↗), and the article at the link makes NO mention of Virtuous Pedophiles OR the claim on Virtuous Pedophiles's website stating that sexual activity between adults and children is wrong. So, your "rescuing" of the source URL is actually incorrect/unnecessary. ClarkKentWannabe (talk) 14:41, 9 January 2025 (UTC)
::::But that's just the abstract ↗ of the source in question. The actual article is 12-pages long and mentions the website by name exactly 2 times, I just showed you the two sentences that talk about the website in my reply above. Badbluebus (talk) 14:48, 9 January 2025 (UTC)
:::::{{ping|Badbluebus}} Again, my apologies. I've gone through & restored the citation to the article. ClarkKentWannabe (talk) 21:04, 9 January 2025 (UTC)

Definition of the term "defunct" broadcast network

To even qualify as a defunct broadcast network ↗, it must shutdown completely and no longer exist, but you refuse to acknowledge MyNetworkTV ↗ still exists as an over-the-air broadcast network since its conversion to a syndication service in 2009. Despite its attempted prime time soap operas ↗ struggling to gain an audience in 2006 and 2007, they became available on the Tubi ↗ streaming service ↗ in 2020 and 2021. As for Ion Television ↗, which launched as PAX TV in 1998, it still exists as a broadcast network since its rebranding to I: Independent Television in 2005, but it recently launched a FAST ↗ television channel feed in 2021, effectively eliminating the need for a local affiliate TV station as with its sister network Ion Plus ↗, which launched as Ion Life in 2007 before rebranding to Ion Plus in 2019. In fact, Ion Television and Ion Plus might as well shut down their over-the-air feeds and convert to internet-only streaming channels instead. 76.80.52.166 ↗ (talk) 21:57, 28 January 2025 (UTC)

{{ping|76.80.52.166}}
:MyNetworkTV is no longer considered a broadcast network, so it belongs in the defunct broadcast network template.
:As for Pax, it was replaced initially by ''i'' (considered a programming distribution platform), then by Ion (also a programming distribution platform).
:Also, Smile was never considered a minor television network, so please do not keep adding it back in.
:I will give you one last warning; you continue engaging in this disruptive behavior, I will report you for vandalism. ClarkKentWannabe (talk) 01:15, 29 January 2025 (UTC)

:{{ping|Sammi Brie}} Your take? Mvcg66b3r (talk) 22:55, 31 January 2025 (UTC)
::Let's not conflate some issues here, even though the definition of this term is very prone to conflation.
::We've had some long discussions about MyNetworkTV, even within the project ↗. MyNetworkTV met the definition of a network when it started in 2006. When it stopped meeting the definition of a network is a fuzzy thing, but it might have done so in hindsight as early as 2009 or 2010.
::Then there's Pax, i, and Ion. We treat them as one continuous service. Even if Ion has generally lacked first-run entertainment programming since the mid-2000s, its sports additions with the WNBA and NWSL have kept it unquestionably a network. Ion Television is the most prominent (maybe not the most-viewed), but many diginet ↗s act in this way. They are distributed through local stations and as FAST channels, but we don't have this question really with anyone but MyNetworkTV. Smile (of a Child) belongs in this category: a national service distributed through local stations.
::The definition of "television network", in my view, has less to do with programming and more with topology. (Never mind that long ago we conflated the two, particularly here.) But to call MyNetworkTV defunct ''is'' blatantly wrong: it still exists in some guise. The same could be said of a diginet like Circle that opted to remove local stations entirely from its distribution strategy but still is a linear FAST service. But Twist (TV network) ↗ ''is'' dead: it is no longer distributed in any medium, including linear. <span style="color:#ba4168">Sammi Brie</span> (she/her · t · c ↗) 00:02, 1 February 2025 (UTC)
:::Well, OK. I will officially concede to Sammi's explanation, and I will cease contesting 76.80.52.166's change to the template for defunct American broadcast networks. ClarkKentWannabe (talk) 00:16, 1 February 2025 (UTC)
:::{{ping|Sammi Brie}} even though you've said Ion *is* considered a TV network, would it at all be considered a *major* TV network? I ask because someone has taken to adding Ion to the "major" section of the "Current English-language broadcast television networks in the United States" template. ClarkKentWannabe (talk) 06:55, 20 February 2025 (UTC)
::::That's tough @ClarkKentWannabe. Its national coverage is pretty good. But it's not a broadcast network in a key way that the Big Four and The CW are, since it operates a basically 24-hour national feed. I'd be a bit hesitant, but the case is mixed for them. <span style="color:#ba4168">Sammi Brie</span> (she/her · t · c ↗) 07:44, 20 February 2025 (UTC)

Introduction to contentious topics

{{ivmbox | image = Commons-emblem-notice.svg |imagesize=50px | bg = #E5F8FF | text = You have recently edited a page related to '''post-1992 politics of the United States and closely related people''', a topic designated as '''''contentious ↗'''''. This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and <em>does <strong>not</strong> imply that there are any issues with your editing</em>.

A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as ''contentious topics''. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee ↗. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia's norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators ↗ have an expanded level of powers and discretion in order to reduce disruption to the project.

Within contentious topics, editors should edit <strong>carefully and constructively</strong>, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:

adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia ↗;

comply with all applicable policies and guidelines ↗;

follow editorial and behavioural best practices;

comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and

refrain from gaming the system ↗.

<p>Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics ''procedures'', you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard ↗ or you may learn more about this contentious topic here ↗. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{tl|Ctopics/aware}} template. </p>}}

link=|25px|alt=Information icon ↗ You have recently made edits related to articles about living or recently deceased people ↗, and edits relating to the subject (living or recently deceased) of such biographical articles. This is a standard message to inform you that articles about living or recently deceased people ↗, and edits relating to the subject (living or recently deceased) of such biographical articles is a designated contentious topic. This message <em>does <strong>not</strong> imply that there are any issues with your editing</em>.

::{{ping|SarekOfVulcan}} I believe this editor is evading their block and editing as User:76.235.248.101, an IP from Homer Glen, Illinois ↗ (the city that started all this).

:::{{ping|SarekOfVulcan}}, in my defense, as I've stated elsewhere on here, I am not a troublemaker. As such, I would never attempt to evade an edit block.

Regarding MS NOW

Hi, this is just a simple message regarding the recent edit you’ve made. Now, for me I think your revision to the article is not quite necessary (e.g. CNBC ↗ where it simply state '''Consumer News and Business Channel''', not like '''Consumer News [and] Business Channel'''), but I won’t be reversing your revision for now to avoid igniting a edit war on the article. Samueldester1234 (talk) 16:24, 16 November 2025 (UTC)

:{{ping|Samueldester1234}} Well, I would argue that MS NOW isn't in the same situation as CNBC. That channel started out as the '''Consumer News and Business Channel''', and then eventually had its name shortened to '''CNBC''', whereas the former MSNBC has been re-branded to '''MS NOW''', with the '''My Source [for] News, Opinion, [and the] World''' backronym being created at almost the same time as the initialism. There's even a reference posted to the-now MS NOW's Wikipedia page that shows the formatting for the network's full name. ClarkKentWannabe (talk) 16:48, 16 November 2025 (UTC)

25px|alt=Information icon ↗ Hi, and thank you for your contributions ↗ to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to change the title of a page by cutting its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into :Total Christian Television ↗. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move ↗", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history ↗, which is legally required for attribution ↗. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be ''moved'' to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases for registered users, once your account is four days old and has ten edits ↗, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab ↗ at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu ↗ for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect ↗ from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves ↗ to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Requests for history merge ↗. Thank you.
